将unittest assertRaise()与对象实例化一起使用

我有一个类FilePlay,它接受三个参数host_dicPATHgroup都具有默认值。当给出host_dic时,对象实例化将创建一个文件。当没有给出对象实例化时,将检查文件是否存在,如果不存在则会引发错误。这是代码:

class FilePlay(object):
    def __init__(self, host_dic=None, PATH='/foo/', group='bar'):
        self.host_dic = host_dic
        self.PATH = PATH
        self.group = group # this changes with the instantiation

        if isinstance(hosts_dic, dict):
            # create a file
            # change self.group
        else:
            if os.path.isfile(self.PATH+'hosts'):
                # read the file
                # change self.group
            else:
                raise IOError("Neither hosts file found nor host_dic parameter given, cannot instantiate.")

现在我想用unittest测试一下。所以这是我的代码:

import unittest
from top.files import FilePlay
import os.path  


class Test_FilePlay(unittest.TestCase):

def test_init_PATH(self):
    '''It tests FilePlay instatiation when:
       PATH parameter is given
    '''
    test_PATH='/foo/'

    if not os.path.isfile(test_PATH+'hosts'): # If there is no hosts file at PATH location
        self.assertRaises(IOError,play = FilePlay(PATH=test_PATH)) #Here is the problem!
    else: # if there is the hosts file at PATH location
        play = FilePlay(PATH=test_PATH)

        self.assertEqual(play.group, 'bar')
        self.assertEqual(play.hosts_dic, None)

当我尝试使用PATH位置的文件运行测试时,它可以正常工作。但是当文件不存在时,我得到:

======================================================================
ERROR: test_init_PATH (top.tests.test_test_file)
It tests FilePlay instatiation when:

    raise IOError("Neither hosts file found nor host_dic parameter given, cannot instantiate.")
IOError: Neither hosts file found nor host_dic parameter given, cannot instantiate.

当文件不存在时,如何通过测试?

您未正确使用assertRaises。您直接调用该对象,以便在断言有机会捕获它之前引发错误。

您需要单独传递类本身及其参数:

self.assertRaises(IOError, FilePlay, PATH=test_PATH)

或使用上下文管理器版本:

with self.assertRaises(IOError):
    FilePlay(PATH=test_PATH)
